NWC 245 Posted May 1, 2012 Anyone else take this bet at the start of the season ??I think the odds ranged from 12''s to 20''s - I got 18''s with Billy Hill. After last nights result we now need a victory over Villa or the manchester clubs to drop 2 points for this to happen. Its very close and I imagine there are a lot of Norfolk bookies sweating on it.

NWC 245 Posted May 1, 2012 I''m not a big betting man so unfortunately I had only what was left in my account at the time which was £8.53!!But its over £160 if it comes, so worth getting exited about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trubshaw 0 Posted May 1, 2012 I had a bet at this each way (top 4 finish) which I''m still slightly sweating over as we will need to beat Villa on the last day (unless we get something at Arsenal) but Newcastle are already about 8 points clear in first place...............

paul moy 235 Posted May 1, 2012 I had a 50 quid bet on that at 20/1 E/W. I''ve assumed that Newcastle will win it but don''t know their handicap. Anybody know what it was ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trubshaw 0 Posted May 1, 2012 Newcastle were +34 points... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crabbycanary 2 Posted May 1, 2012 My mate had the same bet as you did NWC, with a similar reward hopefully,and he is probably sweating a bit at the mo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paul moy 235 Posted May 1, 2012 [quote user="Mr. Bump"]Sorry to say but both Newcastle and Swansea are above us in the handicap table.[/quote]I bet with William Hill and I''m pretty sure the nearest handicap to us was 40 for QPR, so I don''t see how Swansea can be beating us as they are only one point ahead in the Prem.

Gingerpele 0 Posted May 1, 2012 In theory Swansea should have the same, if not better handicap. They were the play-off winners, we were 2nd place. They don''t exactly have a huge budget either, unlike QPR who were obviously going to/were spending money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scottlarock 3 Posted May 1, 2012 I had a fiver on plus 45 with Willhill. It''s an exciting sort of bet however it rarely pays out on the odds taken. By its very nature a handicap means that a lot of the teams points will end up with very similiar points. Therefore the bookies usually pay out half or a third of the odds as there is often a dead heat. A classic bookie bet that looks great but if you win........not so.

paul moy 235 Posted May 13, 2012 This was the result on William Hills who paid a fifth of the odds for a place. Newcastle (+37) (5/2) Man City (+6) (11/8) (Place 2)Norwich (+45) (6/1) (Place 3)Swansea (+44) (12/1) (Place 4) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
